[Rhodes22-list] Hisense 7" tablet for simpler Geeks

[Art Czerwonky]

Dave,

I'd always suggest the IP2, even the Mini for cabin use.  My Note 2 has a nice map display, although with gloss screen I use a non-reflecting screen protector.  All things said, I sure enjoy the tabs - hope Allison will too - for her Bday!
